Let's have another giveaway! The publisher of Ann Baldwin's new book sent me a copy to review and one to giveaway to my blog readers. Thank you Quarry Books! This is a wonderful book about layered collage with loads of techniques. I have been a fan of Ann's work since 1998 and it is a treat to get an insider's view into how she creates her rich and beautiful collages.

To enter the giveaway just post a comment below and I'll do the drawing on Friday at lunchtime (around Noon EST)

WOW, what a fantsatic give-away. I've been hearing/reading about this book and it sounds like one I 'NEED' to add to my ever expanding collection. Please toss my name in the hat. Thanks for all the inspiration you give us.

I am starting to dabble in mixed-media (I did my first painting and cut paper/button collage this weekend--inspired by some warm weather, finally.) I also just reserved one of your books at my local library--I love the library!! Thanks for the chance to win! Your work inspires me.

Oh that looks like a fabo book! Just looking at the cover is making me wishing I knew more!

Ha, my hubby just called as he's driving out to eastern KY and I'm telling him about this book. He said, "Oh there is everything you like. Press send, then write down the book name and author." He's a good guy buying me everything I could possible want or need in the next three life times.

being a fairly new participant in mixed media I could think of nothing better than a book of techniques to help inspire me crossed fingers and toes but good luck and enjoy the book to whom ever is the lucky winner. Thanks for the opportunity to play and win claudine

I just had a look at Ann's website (www.annbaldwin.com) and her work is amazing ... she's just at home with nature themes as with scientific or urban ones (I love the nature ones best because they're so evocative). Anyway, she has some great extras online, such as pictures of her studio (I always love a sticky beak!) and step-by-step photos of how she puts her work together. I really recommend everyone checks it out.
